I'd ask for half a lamb, butchered and wrapped, to be delivered the
next time they slaughter.  If you sell enough to cover your
our-of-pocket expenses --- coal and petrol -- you're ahead and you
have a friendly barter relation with a source of lamb and/or mutton as
well. 

I regret that out sheep-farming neighbor moved away.  For some years
there we got a freezer-ready lamb a year as rent for pasturage on a
few acres of otherwise unused field and he maintained the fences into
the bargain.
